doc: add information regarding external commands

Git supports running external commands in the user's PATH as if they
were built-in commands (see execv_dashed_external in git.c).

This feature was not fully documented in Git's user-facing
documentation.

Add a short documentation to describe how PATH is used to find a custom
subcommand.
